From Sunday, 4th September, Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) is making minor timetable changes on some Southern routes.
The frequency of some services will be increased but will be reduced where services overlap. These will be mainly during off-peak hours when there is low demand.
Southern's Customer Services Director Chris Fowler said: “We're pleased to be offering more services overall. Although most changes are small, it's important that customers check their route for new times before they travel. The new timetables are available on the Southern website and journey planners have been updated.
“Of course, we'll continue to monitor travel patterns and customer feedback, and to work with local stakeholders as we always do when timetables are introduced, so we can look to add more services in future when and where they're needed.”
